Summary

Life is messy。
It isn't a color-within-the-lines exercise。
It's a wild and outrageous invitation
full of uncertain outcomes。
The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected。
It is filled with delightful mysteries
and frustrating predicaments。
In our disposable culture,
we throw broken things away。
So, what will we do with broken people,
broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families,
and of course, our very own broken selves?
We are all broken and wounded。
This book is about putting our lives back together,
and allowing ourselves to be put back together,
when life doesn't turn out as we expected it to。
Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals,
Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life
affected him, by exploring this question:
Can someone who has been broken be healed
and become more beautiful and more lovable
than ever before?
The answer will fill you with hope。
There has never been a more urgent need
for us to attend to what is happening within us。
This is quite simply
the right book at the right time。

Ann Warren

It started slow but definitely had some good nuggets。 A refreshing read after this year of crazy, and a little motivation to make some positive changes。

Catherine

Such a nice surprise。 Totally unexpected and much appreciated。

I generally love Matthew Kelly’s books but this one was harder to enjoy。 The writer acknowledges he wrote this in the midst of a challenging season, and I think it was fairly evident in the book。 There are no chapters only a series of topics with sub headers strung together throughout the nearly 200 pages。 This felt more like a draft than a finished product。 There were certainly nuggets of thought-provoking questions and insights, but the reader had to work through or all to find them。 Perhaps t I generally love Matthew Kelly’s books but this one was harder to enjoy。 The writer acknowledges he wrote this in the midst of a challenging season, and I think it was fairly evident in the book。 There are no chapters only a series of topics with sub headers strung together throughout the nearly 200 pages。 This felt more like a draft than a finished product。 There were certainly nuggets of thought-provoking questions and insights, but the reader had to work through or all to find them。 Perhaps this will serve as a springboard for Matthew to continue to build upon the ideas that he put on paper throughout this book。 There are certainly other Matthew Kelly books I would recommend over this latest work。 。。。more
